people should be responsible for their own diet and exercise. if they want to be fat then they will and can.. the calories i think are important for awareness but i think banning large sodas is stupid.. its not the govts job to make sure i dont eat too much sugar..

Totally agree, is like those people who sue restaurants for making them fat lol, they don't force you to eat a super size...

i do agree, but when the government has to pay for them if they are disabled from obese or on medicare and more health issues, i think government gets a say

to a point i see ur logic but where do u draw the line? so all of a sudden u want to establish the govt has a vested interest in our healthcare due to the fact that they provide certain services for us and we cost them money?? this somehow enables them to limit our freedom?? i dont think so! and this is a very dangerous can of worms.. upon looking further and deeper this may already be in practice but IMO this type of invasion into our private lives and freedom should not be encouraged.

But by costing them (gov) money they are costing you money, So other things have to be cut or you have to spend more because of peoples health issues they brought on themselves.
We have alot of freedoms here, but i dont think we are free to do anything especially when it has a direct effect on others. And they arent really limiting your freedoms. Its the size of a cup of soda. You can still order 2 or get a refill. They are not limiting what you can actually have. So your still free to drink 32 oz of mountain dew. You just need 2 cups.

they are costing me money and they will continue to cost me money there is nothing i can do about how many ounces of soda some fat ass on govt welfare (or whatever it is) wants to drink.. . u basically are proving the point to be futile urself by saying people can just get 2 cups so why would u want to give the govt the power to dictate what we can and cant eat/drink?

u say it isnt limiting our freedom i say u are incorrect because by giving the govt more control of my personal choices it is limiting my freedom. i once had the freedom to choose 32oz of liquid in one cup and now the govt is gaining the power to take that choice away from me. that means my choices are now limited from what they once were. this is also a similar situation to ur position of gun control.. u sure do seem willing to let the govt have a longer reach into our personal liberties.. i dont get it..

everything is practically regulated, who can drink alcohol, smoke, drive a car. We are 100% absolutely free.
So yes, if anyone owning a gun is causeing innocent people to die, the government should step in. If someone has no self control on what they put in their mouth and i have to pay for them, i think there should be some regulations. Nobody is saying what you cant do, still drink your soda, but if limits on cups size help who did it really hurt. I lost my freedom to order a 32oz cup. Really? How will life go on

IMO ur missing the point.. the fact i cant order a 32oz soda is not what matters, its the principle behind it. your solution to people not being able to control themselves is allowing the govt to invade our personal liberty and baby sit us with impotent regulations.. it doesnt make any sense..
